The correct Answer is:
To find the 13th term in the expansion of \((9x - \frac{1}{3\sqrt{x}})^{18}\), we will use the Binomial Theorem. The general term in the expansion of \((p + q)^n\) is given by: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{n}{r} p^{n-r} q^r \] ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify \(p\), \(q\), and \(n\)**: - Here, \(p = 9x\), \(q = -\frac{1}{3\sqrt{x}}\), and \(n = 18\). 2. **General Term**: - The \(r^{th}\) term (or \(T_{r+1}\)) in the expansion can be expressed as: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{18}{r} (9x)^{18-r} \left(-\frac{1}{3\sqrt{x}}\right)^r \] 3. **Finding the 13th Term**: - The 13th term corresponds to \(r = 12\) (since \(T_{r+1}\) means \(r\) starts from 0). \[ T_{13} = \binom{18}{12} (9x)^{18-12} \left(-\frac{1}{3\sqrt{x}}\right)^{12} \] 4. **Simplifying the Expression**: - Calculate \(\binom{18}{12}\): \[ \binom{18}{12} = \binom{18}{6} = \frac{18!}{12! \cdot 6!} = 18564 \] - Calculate \((9x)^6\): \[ (9x)^6 = 9^6 \cdot x^6 \] - Calculate \(\left(-\frac{1}{3\sqrt{x}}\right)^{12}\): \[ \left(-\frac{1}{3\sqrt{x}}\right)^{12} = \frac{(-1)^{12}}{3^{12} \cdot (\sqrt{x})^{12}} = \frac{1}{3^{12} \cdot x^6} \] 5. **Combine the Terms**: - Now substitute back into the expression for \(T_{13}\): \[ T_{13} = 18564 \cdot 9^6 \cdot x^6 \cdot \frac{1}{3^{12} \cdot x^6} \] - The \(x^6\) terms cancel out: \[ T_{13} = 18564 \cdot \frac{9^6}{3^{12}} \] 6. **Simplifying \(9^6\) and \(3^{12}\)**: - Note that \(9 = 3^2\), so: \[ 9^6 = (3^2)^6 = 3^{12} \] - Therefore: \[ T_{13} = 18564 \cdot \frac{3^{12}}{3^{12}} = 18564 \] ### Final Answer: The 13th term in the expansion is \(18564\).

To find the 13th term in the expansion of \((9x - \frac{1}{3\sqrt{x}})^{18}\), we will use the Binomial Theorem. The general term in the expansion of \((p + q)^n\) is given by: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{n}{r} p^{n-r} q^r \] ### Step-by-step Solution: ...
